More cat owners are turning to vegan diets for their pets. But is a plant-based diet actually safe for cats? An online survey of 1,305 cats found that those eating vegan diets had 34% lower odds of being assessed as overweight than those eating conventional meat-based food. The findings came from caregiver reports of veterinary […]
Can Cats Really Go Vegan? New Research Reveals a Surprising Health Connection
More cat owners are turning to vegan diets for their pets. But is a plant-based diet actually safe for cats? An online survey of 1,305 cats found that those eating vegan diets had 34% lower odds of being assessed as overweight than those eating conventional meat-based food.

A Nutrient Found in Red Meat Could Make Dangerous Inflammation Even Worse
A nutrient known for helping the body burn fat may also cause inflammation when the immune system is in overdrive. Yale researchers found that L-carnitine, a nutrient abundant in red meat and widely used in exercise and weight-loss supplements, could worsen severe inflammation in mice. After a bacterial component triggered inflammation and sharply lowered blood […]

New X-Ray Technology Captures 4.6 Times More Light Without Losing Sharpness
Scientists have developed a new approach to X-ray imaging that captures significantly more light without sacrificing image sharpness. A major obstacle to sharper X-ray images is that much of the light generated inside detectors never reaches the camera. Researchers have developed a nanostructured surface that increased average light output by 4.64 times and improved the […]
“The Closest Thing to Magic” – Researchers Create an Invisible Pipe That Moves Liquids Through Thin Air
Scientists have developed an invisible tube made entirely of ultrasonic waves that can guide liquids through mid-air without physical contact. Researchers at the University of Helsinki have created a pipe with no physical walls, using ultrasound to guide a stream of liquid horizontally through open air. The technology could provide a new way to transport […]
Uranus and Neptune May Have Been Cosmic Strangers All Along, New Research Reveals
Uranus and Neptune have long been considered planetary twins, but new research suggests their similarities may conceal surprisingly different origins. Neptune may have formed from material that originated much closer to the young Sun, challenging the long-standing belief that it and Uranus developed from the same reservoir of cosmic ingredients. New research suggests the two […]
Scientists Discover How Dead Stars Could Break One of Physics’ Most Famous Limits
New simulations suggest that powerful internal magnetic fields could allow some white dwarfs to grow far beyond a long-established stellar mass limit. New research suggests that some white dwarfs, the incredibly dense remnants of dead stars, could grow far heavier than a fundamental limit in astrophysics predicts. Computer simulations show that powerful internal magnetic fields […]
